FSR announced that it has expanded its Next Generation Digital Ribbon Series to include USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C DR cables designed for most conferencing cameras, hard drives, PCs, laptops or any high-end peripheral devices that use a USB Type-C connector to transfer data. (Note: these cables do not support USB-C Power Delivery or Alternate Mode.)
Offered in 10- and 15-meter lengths, the cables are compatible with both Windows and Apple iOS, can support a 5V/900 mA transfer limit, and are stated to deliver a speed of 10 Gbps data transfer without signal loss or delay. Each cable is fitted with a discreet black jacket with connector shells labeled “HOST” and “DEVICE” to aid in connection.
The cables are plenum rated (type CMP/FT6) and offer pull strength stated as 15 kg/33 lbs. They join FSR’s extensive range of Next Generation Digital Ribbon Cables that includes 4K and 8K versions utilizing a proprietary technology to allow high-speed, high-definition, HDMI signal transmission over distances of up to up to 328 or 100 feet, respectively.
“We’re excited to offer our customers a powerful digital ribbon cable solution for today’s high-end peripheral devices that use a USB Type-C connector,” explains Jan Sandri, president, FSR. “This latest version of our Next Generation Digital Ribbon Cables fulfills a market need with a product that meets the high technical standard the industry has come to expect from FSR’s product portfolio.
